In recent times, a lot of smartphone makers has ditched the conventional headphone jack. As of now, only a few OEM still stick with theĀ 3.5mm port. Some manufacturers have now madeĀ the USB Type-C port to serve a dual function (charging and headphone function) while others just simply replace the option of the headphone port with an impressiveĀ stereo front-facing speakers. A lot of users are not really comfortable with these changes because some audios are meant for your ear’s alone.
Gizchina News of the week
Looking at theĀ Samsung Galaxy S8, its bottom-firing speaker seem rather appalling compared to the front-facing speakers ofĀ Galaxy S9 and Pixel 2. So whats the deal now? If manufacturers are including a headphone jack, get set for a below-par bottom speaker but if the 3.5mm jack is expunged, then you can expect a powerful front-facing stereo speaker. So which will you rather have? A headphone jack? or a stereo front-facing speaker? Cast your vote in the poll below, and if there is anything you need to add, let us know in the comments.
